TheMethow and its tributaries drain the east slope
of North Cascades. The river and thebasin tributaries are all freestone.
During low water years the hot months can be a bit tough due to
water temps, but the fringe months are certainly worthy.

Adjacent
basins to the West ( the Stehekin and Wenatchee river basin) are
the other major drainage for the East slope of the North Cascades.
All three of the aforementioned rivers and their tributaries are
freestone in nature and therefore the flows in these systems are based
strictly on snow pack and precipitation. There is minimal
dam influence on these watersheds. The Methow basin originates
in an alpine wilderness and terminates in the desert like sage
brush landscape where the river enters the Columbia river

Ample
wildlife is part of the landscape, where both Mule deer and Whitetail
deer are incredibly plentiful. The basin is one of the major thoroughfares
for the Mule deer herd migration during the Fall. The black bear
and cougar population is also quite strong. The Methow river flows
through Okanagon county which has a total population of approximately
40,000.

The
river is home to resident Cutthroat, Rainbow, Bulltrout and Whitefish.
In addition to the resident fish population, anadramous runs of Chinook
and Steelhead are significant. Methow river trout fishing can be great
July - September. Steelhead fishing in October and later is
based on whether the State opens the river for steelhead.
This river is listed as a closed river unless there is an "emergency
opening". We do however fish the Methow regularly for trout July-September
and look forward to showing you this beautiful watershed.
